I woke up the next morning feeling a warm body wrapped around mine and I froze. What the hell? Then it came back to me. Jay coming around to the house, my falling apart, and Milo being so tender and kind: running me a bath, allowing me to not have to explain myself, letting me fall asleep in his arms with exhaustion when enough tears had fallen that I couldn’t cry any more.

My eyes felt heavy and as I touched my fingertips under one of them I could feel the puffiness. Great.

“You okay, Princess?”

I turned around and hitched myself up the bed, staring at a very awake Milo. “I feel like I got punched in the eyes.”

“You still look beautiful to me.”

That made me smile. “You have such patter, Milo Waite.”

“Only for you, babe. Only for you.”

He moved away from me and swung his legs out of bed. “I’ll go make a brew. I’m guessing you’re ready for a drink? There can’t be any water left in your body.”

“I’d love one please. What time is it anyway?” I peered over at my bedside clock. Seven am flashed back at me.

“It’s early, so none of my family will be over anytime soon. They have the cooked breakfast and weekly planning get together.”

“Oh yes. Well, soon as you need to go it’s fine.”

He stood up and turned around to face me. “I’m not going, I’m staying with you. They’ll fill me in.”

I found it hard to argue with him because now Milo was standing I saw he wore his t-shirt and boxer briefs and somehow I was finding it difficult to not stare at his taut thigh muscles or the bulge in his boxers.

Look away, Violet.

“You know you’re staring at me like I’m a packet of your favourite biscuits and you’re starving, right?”

I blushed to the roots of my hair. I could feel the heat.

“Much as I’d like to let you indulge, it’s not my style to take advantage of a vulnerable woman, so you’re gonna have to wait for this Waite. Get it?” He winked. Then he walked out of the room. I could swear he was shaking his arse as he did so. Was that a dimple under his arse cheek?

While I heard Milo downstairs, I sat back against my headboard, closed my eyes and sighed. Fucking Jay. I’d just begun to feel a little happiness and then there he was like a dark cloud blocking the sun from shining. Shouting my secrets from the doorway like the petulant child he’d always acted like.

Yet Milo was still here. Not only that, he’d threatened to kick his arse, and whether his words were for Jay’s ears only, he’d acted like my potential knife-throwing act didn’t bother him at all. But it bothered me. It bothered me a hell of a lot that for one brief moment in time, a horror had come over me that I might be just like my mother. Our relationship had been over anyway, but now instead of Jay apologising for cheating, everything came back to what I’d done.
